In this candid breakdown with OTW, we cut through the hype and show you what actually matters for learning pentesting in 2025: prioritising RAM over flashy GPUs, picking VMware (free for personal use) for reliable labs, using refurbs/minis/Raspberry Pi, and planning for where wireless hacking is going (Bluetooth/BLE/Zigbee) — not just Wi-Fi. We also cover AMD vs Intel vs Apple M-chips/ARM for Linux VMs, when cloud cracking makes sense, and why daily practice beats buying gadgets. Highlights: • Best beginner specs (RAM first, SSD nice, storage ≠ speed) • VMware vs VirtualBox for home labs • AMD/Intel vs Apple M-chips/ARM for Kali/Parrot VMs • Alpha adapters & aircrack-ng compatibility; Nordic nRF52 for BLE • Budget path: used/refurb, mini-PCs, Pi, phone/cloud labs (HTB/THM) • The 80/20 rule of hacking: skills are greater than gear If you’re delaying until you can afford a $2 – 3k laptop, don’t. Start now, learn daily, and upgrade later. // Occupy The Web SOCIAL // X: Website: // Occupy The Web Books // Linux Basics for Hackers 2nd Ed US: UK: Linux Basics for Hackers: US: UK: Getting Started Becoming a Master Hacker US: UK: Network Basics for hackers: US: UK: // OTW Discount // Use the code BOMBAL to get a 20% discount off anything from OTW's website: // Playlists REFERENCE // Linux Basics for Hackers: Mr Robot: Hackers Arise / Occupy the Web Hacks: // David's SOCIAL // Discord: X: Instagram: LinkedIn: Facebook: TikTok: YouTube: Spotify: SoundCloud: Apple Podcast: // MY STUFF // // SPONSORS // Interested in sponsoring my videos?
